Chapter 14

After he spoke to his first and second, Ross was satisfied that the pack would be fine.

“So is the log cabin your house?” I checked. He was still carrying me, and my 120 pounds didn’t seem to bother him even a little.

“Our house.” He corrected me.

“Sorry.” I apologized, though I didn’t really feel bad. I wanted to know what was going on and if my life was really in danger, and I wanted to get to know my sexy soulmate. “I thought the Alpha was supposed to have a big fancy house where everyone could gather and meet or whatever.”

“Usually that’s true.” Ross nodded. “But it would be pointless for me to live in a massive house by myself. The pack shares everything, so I gave that house to someone who needed it more than me.”

“Aww.”

The door was already open when we got back to the cabin. Ross didn’t seem surprised, carrying me inside without a second thought.

“Are you okay?” a woman gasped from behind me. If Ross hadn’t been holding me so tight, I would’ve jumped right out of his arms. I definitely hadn’t expected her, whoever she was, to be waiting in Ross’s house.

I awkwardly turned my neck around to see who she was, but the two ladies stood beside me a few minutes later.

“I’m not dead or tied up any more, so yeah, I’m great.” I gave them both a fake smile, but they didn’t seem offended.

“This is Lilac and Rilla, your second and third.” Ross introduced them.

“Oh.” My smile dropped to the floor. I’d forgotten that whole part about being in a pack; the Omega had a second and third too. I was exhausted and sick, so I wasn’t really sure what to say. Be friendly and charm them over? Tell them what I was thinking? Flip ‘em the bird?

“We brought you guys dinner and just wanted to say hi.” Lilac smiled. “We can have a movie night or something this week, if you’re up for it.”

“Um,” I blinked, then plastered a smile on my face. “Sure, yeah, as long as Carla says it’s okay. I’m pretty tired right now, but…” my mind flashed back to just a few hours earlier, when the whole pack hated me. “You know what, never mind. I need to focus on getting better.”

I totally used that as an excuse, but it was necessary.

“I do have a question for you, though. How did you go from hating me and trying to kill Ross to being the pack welcoming committee?”

Their eyes widened a little.

“Ah, well…” they looked at each other.

“Don’t worry about.” I smiled coolly. “Thanks for the dinner, but I know you still don’t want me to be the Omega, and I get that. Don’t lie to me.”

There was a tense, awkward moment.

“Alright, we’re going to go. Congratulations on finding each other.”

They scurried out the door like we were on fire.

When Ross plopped me down on his old leather couch, I smiled up at him.

“You’d never guess it now, but I used to be the life of every party.
